II.
BACKGROUND
Rabbi Yoseph is the Rishon Letzion, the Chief Rabbi
for Sephardic Jewry. Rabbi Yoseph is in the United
States for ten days visiting the Sephardic community
in the United States which is quite significant. The
Sephardic community is a closely knit community with
tremendous emphasis on traditional and family values.
Rabbi Yoseph will present to you a leather bible and
a volume which he personally authored. The Rabbi will
also make a blessing over the President thanking G-d (sic)
for sharing his greatness with another person. The
Rabbi will probably be dressed in a black cloak and turban.
If there is any female members of the staff present, they
should not extend their hand to the Rabbi since he is not
allowed to shake their hand. The Rabbi does not speak
English and Rabbi Yacov Pollack, Congregation Shomre
Emunah of Brooklyn will serve as the translator.

Talking Points
TALKING POINTS
Meeting with the Chief Rabbi of Israel
Harav Ovadia Yoseph
I would like to welcome you to the United States.
I am aware that the Sephardic community in the
United States is a significant portion of our
Jewish community.
I am aware that the Sephardic community is closely
knit and places tremendous emphasis on traditional
and family values, much like my Administration.
The Sephardic community has made significant contri-
butions to the Jewish community as well as the
American way of life.
American and Israelis share a common bond. They
are both democratic nations with a tradition deeply
rooted in both family and freedom.
The United States remains committed to the security
of the State of Israel.
--
Thank you very much for the beautiful bible and for
your visit to our country.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF PROJECT TRANSPORT
DATE:
February 17, 1983
LOCATION:
Roosevelt Room
TIME:
4:30 pm (5 minutes)
FROM:
Craig L. Fuller
as
I.
PURPOSE
To announce "Project Transport," a partnership between the
public and private sectors, to help handicapped workers get
to their jobs.
II.
BACKGROUND
For years corporate officials and disabled consumer group
leaders have agreed that one of the greatest impediments
preventing employment of significant numbers of disabled
individuals is a lack of adequate transportation. Unless
an efficient, inexpensive system is made widely available,
approximately seven out of every ten severely disabled
individuals will continue to remain outside the mainstream
of our American work force.
This major disincentive to employment can be effectively
dealt with through the development of a partnership between
the public and private sectors. "Project Transport" has been
established as such a partnership and will commence in New
York City with a six-month planning phase to be funded jointly
by IBM and the Urban Mass Transportation Administration. The
planning phase will be overseen by a committee of sponsors
assembled by the New York City Chamber of Commerce in which
the City and UMTA will participate. All operational matters
of this planning phase will be handled by the Vera Institute
of Justice.
By announcing the start of "Project Transport," you will show
your concern for the disabled and your support for this worthy
project involving public/private cooperation.
III. PARTICIPANTS
Elizabeth Dole, Art Teele, Administrator of UMTA, and
representatives from IBM, American Academy of Opthalmologists,
and Vera Institute of Justice.

SEQUENCE
Elizabeth Dole, Art Teele, and Ronay Menschel, from the
office of Mayor Koch, will stand beside you as you make
the announcement (talking points attached). Ronay Menschel
will respond briefly before you depart.
TALKING POINTS
PROJECT TRANSPORT
Welcome to our public and private sector guests.
Project Transport
certainly accomplishes what
I've been talking about for a number of years,
successful public/private partnerships.
This project is just one more example of how
creativity can help solve problems on the local
level. I am pleased to help launch this effort.
This pilot project gives new hope and inspiration
to the handicapped to join the work force.
--
I would publicly like to thank the City of New
York, IBM and the public partner on the federal
level, the Urban Mass Transit Authority for the
role you have played in making this possible,
and in addition the other New York organizations
involved.
Also, I understand IVECO Trucks of North America
has donated six custom vans to supplement the
private automobiles used in the project.
Hal Krentz, I know you have been working with
the Vice President's office to help get this project
moving. I think you and all the partners here deserve
a big round of applause.
Thank you, God Bless You and as usual, I'm running
late for another appointment. Best of luck.

each of you for the time, energy, and support you have
SO generously given over the past two years.

the person who puts up with the long hours, travel, and
never-ending problems that accompany our jobs. I know
Nancy's support and understanding helps to keep me
going, and I want to personally express my admiration
and thanks for the husbands and wives here today.
-- As state and local officials, your advice and counsel has
been invaluable as we've worked to renew the health and
promise of our great nation.
